How do you get a dog to tolerate his nails being clipped? General Dog Discussions
We own 2 little dogs, 1 is a yorkshire and the other is a chiwawa mix. They were both strays so we got them late in their life. The older one we have been doing her nails in the tub so she's not a big worry but the chiwawa we just got and we have tried everything to to his nails including food, electric dog nail file, regular clippers, having him be with the electric one with out using it. We will take any ideas. We do use a muzzle and he just is beside himself not letting you hold him or his paws. We have had him about a year going thru this. Even groomers cant get him to relax. The vet said he looked good and gave us some ideas which we tried but still with no luck. Thank you<br />
The vet told me to use a muzzle, to be honest i hate the thing, I love my dogs and just wnat them comfortable. It really isnt my first choice. I know he needs his nails done just for health and comfortability for him. Thank you for ur help i will try anything for my babes.<br />
I also didnt start out with a muzzle, I'll try anything the least restrictive first and have so far.<br />
I also did buy the pedia paws too.<br />
